Denver wins 7th straight, defeats N. Iowa 63-57

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP)—Brett Olson scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds
and Denver won its seventh straight game in a 63-57 victory over Northern Iowa
during BracketBusters on Saturday night.

Chris Udofia had 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, pulled six rebounds and
dished out five assists for Denver (18-8), which shot an even 50 percent from
the field and was 13 of 14 from the free-throw line. Chase Hallam and Jalen Love
scored 11 points apiece.

Northern Iowa cut the Pioneers’ lead to one after Deon Mitchell made a
lay-up to make it 53-52 with 2:19 to play but Denver responded with a 10-5 run
sparked by Olson’s four free throws and a lay-up of his own to help the Pioneers
seal the deal.

Seth Tuttle scored 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting, pulled five rebounds and
had three assists to lead Northern Iowa (17-12), which scored 26 points in the
paint.
